1.	Succulents are known to keep their stomata closed during the day to check transpiration. How do they meet their photosynthetic `CO_(2)` requirements ?
Answer» Succulent (water storing) plants such as cacti, euphorbias fix `CO_(2)` into orgnic compound using PEP carboxylase at night, when the stomata are open. `PEP + CO_(2) to OA(A)` `OA(A) to to to "Malic acid"` The organic compound (malic acid) accumulates throughout the night and is decarboxylated during the day to produce `CO_(2)`.

In glycolysis, glucose splits into compounds which areA. 5-CB. 4-CC. 2-CD. 3-C
Make corrections wherever you find mistake in spellings/words in the following paragraphs :- A. When fats are used in respiration, the RQ is more than unity because fats contain more `O_(2)` and require relatively less amount of `O_(2)` for oxidation. B. The most important energy carrier is ATP. This energy rich compound is mobile and can pass from one cell into another. C. Before pyruvic acid enters Krebs cycle, one of the two carbon atoms of pyruvic acid is reduced to carbon dioxide in the reaction called reductive carboxylation. The remaining two carbon pyruvate unit is accepted by coenzyme A to form acetyl coenzyme A.
